2007

Antinori Tignanello 2007 (750ML)

95 VM / 95 WA Antinori's 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar, mint and minerals. This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is...

Banfi Poggio Alle Mura 2007 (750ML)

96 JS Aromas of ripe plums and berries and hints of tar. Full body, with velvety tannins and a lovely texture. Fruit and coffee character on the palate. Structured. Classy and powerful. Needs two or three years to soften...

Chapoutier Le Meal Ermitage 2007 (750ML)

18++ JR / 94 WA Savoury, much tighter and denser than the Greffieux (which surely has a sandy element to it?) – this is more recognisably classic Hermitage. Like licking a stone on the finish and bone dry. Very long...

Chateau Carignan 2007 (750ML)

D'Yquem 2007 (1.5L)

98 WA / 96 WS Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of...

D'Yquem 2007 (375ML)

98 WA / 96 WS Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of...

Domenico Clerico Arte 2007 (750ML)

92 WA The 2007 Arte (90% Nebbiolo, 10% Barbera) is a dark, sumptuous beauty endowed with layers of blackberries, sweet spices, and minerals. Though still rather firm, the wine possesses superb balance and a long, impeccable...

Grahams 2007 (750ML)

97 WA / 96 JS A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2007 Graham’s Vintage Port is complete in every way. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an ethereal perfume of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, an amalgam...

La Serena Gemini Brunello Riserva 2007 (750ML)

97 JS / 93 AG I like the spices, berries and hints of wet earth in the nose. Dried plums too. Full-bodied, with amazing intensity of exotic, decadent fruits. Velvety textured and very flavorful. Gorgeous, sexy style to this...

Margaux 2007 (750ML)

Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Juste Rose 2007 (750ML)

98 WA / 18 JR Based on the regular Clos des Goisses but blended with a certain percentage of red Pinot Noir from the same vineyard, the 2007 Clos des Goisses Just Rosé Brut has a lovely apricot color and shows a...

Rieussec 2007 (750ML)

19 JR / 93 WA / 93-96 WS / 90-93 VM Sweet, vaguely sticky nose. Certainly impressive for the sugar level! And there’s an attractive savoury undertow that stops it being sickly. Lots there. Reverberates. Long. Very...

Taittinger Comtes De Champagne 2007 (750ML)

98 JS / 97 WE / 96 VM / 95 WA / 18.5 JR This is a step up from the linear and fresh 2006. It shows subtle depth and power with a dense block of vivid fruit that's highlighted with lemon zest, green apples and hints of white...
